The Vinyl Collection version features both mixes of Ten on separate pieces of vinyl. The two-disc Legacy Edition adds previously unreleased takes on “Breath” and “State of Love and Trust” from the Singles soundtrack and four previously unreleased songs. The Deluxe Edition adds special packaging as well as a D-V-D of Pearl Jam’s 1992 M-T-V Unplugged performance in surround sound. The Super Deluxe Edition combines the Vinyl Collection, the Deluxe Edition, a vinyl-only live disc called Drop in the Park recorded in Seattle in September 1992 and a cassette replica of the original “Momma-Son” demos. This cassette is a copy of the original three-song demo that Eddie Vedder was sent in 1990 and that he quickly wrote the lyrics for — the songs became “Alive,” “Once” and “Footsteps.” Pearl Jam are expected to release a new studio album produced by Brendan O’Brien next year as well.
